How do I give Balearic Slingers more ammo?

I've always had a problem with modding EB, the size of units and such. I've tried so many times to halve the number of soldiers in a unit of Triarii from 82 to 41, saved the changes to the file and then when I begin a new game... the number of Triarii is 82 and when I go back to the text file it's changed back to 82. No matter how many times I change it and then save it just keeps going back to 82.

I think you are editing the "general" edu in the main folder so to speak and every time you start the EB launcher, it gets over-written by the SP edu...
Try with the one in the SP folder ;)

Hey guys,

I found the export_descr_unit.txt no problem and changed the ammo from 20 to 30 for both the merc unit and the barracks unit. However I'm using Jirisys mega mod pack so I have the extended unit info in game which is still saying that the ammo for the slingers is 20... I imagine thats only true on the unit info card and has actually been changed in-game. Basically to update the unit info card I would need to do that else where?

Thanks for your time

Yes, the text is not updated when you make a change to the actual unit attributes, to change that you must go to your EB/Data/Text folder and edit the entry in export_units.txt.

Not all changes: if you start removing entries the savegames won't work. However, editing a unit's stats won't cause any problems.

Moving to the submod forum.
